Due to the amount of water in the road base on Chicago Ave, it took a little extra time to set the base. Now the base is 99% set so Monday morning we will begin phase two of the project. Monday the 16th of July we will remove the last of the asphalt, ditch the swamp, and stockpile what we can for gravel in what little room we have.

Tuesday (17th) morning at seven thirty we will begin rolling out the Geo grid. We will shut down all traffic at that time. Travel will have to be emergency only as the poly grid does not take contact well.
